    dji batteries replacement possibilities

    Sounds like you have the expertise to construct a battery that will work as a replacement for stock DJI batteries. If you ever get to the point of creating a plug-and-play replacement battery that also offers longer range, I will be one of the first to buy and try that design, given the...

    dji batteries replacement possibilities

    I was going to throw in a few pointers on how to beat the house at the Blackjack table when next you visit "Vegas, but now something tells me you might not take such advice to heart haha. On serious note I have been delighted with my five previously bought Alli Express extra-range battersies...

    dji batteries replacement possibilities

    I am glad to learn from you that Ali Express does have a facility to accommodate customer complaints. I did search the website for a means to communicate with the seller of those two batteries for my Mavic 2 Po that arrived inoperable, and whose combined cost was over $400, but I was unable to...

    dji batteries replacement possibilities

    Ali Express offers non-DJI batteries that feature greater range than the originals. Here is a link to the Phantom 3 batteries that boast of 4980 mAh as opposed to the 4480 mAh of the standard DJI battery for the Phantom 3 Standard. Bear in mind that Ali Express has abysmally poor customer...

    Gifted wth the patient and meticulous persistence evident in this procedure you've kindly shared above, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that you are a self-made man of considerable net worth.

    Haha I must prove my loyalty to Ali Express by taking the pain without complaint, and while lavishing praise on my tormentor.

    In-depth review of Mavic Pro extended capacity battery (Hobbitec 6830mAh) - Performance and raised questions

    This was the first time that I was shipped dead batteries from Ali Express, but given that they remain the only game in town for anyone seeking this specific product, I will still order more of those extra-range batteries from the same place, UNLESS some wise and tech-savvy electronics buff...

    In-depth review of Mavic Pro extended capacity battery (Hobbitec 6830mAh) - Performance and raised questions

    A couple of months ago, I bought six of those Ali Express steroid batteries for my Mavic 1 Pro, Mavic 2 Pros, and Air 1. For the first time after several such orders in the past, I was shipped TWO dud batteries that NEVER took a single charge, and are now inert paperweights. One is the Mavic 1...

    mavic pro battery authentication failed

    Whoever devised the workaround you described above is a tech genius, Supernial. I had to re-read this procedure a couple of times to acquire a layman's understanding of a delicate surgical process "not to be tried at home". Despite my electronics tech experience in a past life, I've always...

    For remaining Mavic 2 Pro owners, plans to upgrade?

    Ha ha that mental image of credit junkies losing control of their cards is funny but true. DJI continues to innovate and improve the capabilities of their drones with each new release, but I share your view that the Mavic 2 Pro checks all the boxes for those of us who aren't in the...

    mavic pro battery authentication failed

    I have bought custom longer-range batteries for my Mavic 1 Pro and Mavic 2 Pro drones, and with those aftermarket batteries, I routinely fly the drones more than 13 miles round trip on Litchi missions. That said, I don't have the expertise to design and create such longer-range batteries by...

    For remaining Mavic 2 Pro owners, plans to upgrade?

    I own two Mavic 2 Pros and a Mavic 2 Zoom. Since my corrected eyesight cannot distinguish between the footage shot by my Mavic 2 Pro and my newer Air 3, I still prefer the Mavic 2 Pro because it is directly compatible with Litchi and because it will complete waypoint missions beyond the signal...

    Any way to slow down drone when doing waypoints?

    All roads lead to Litchi.

    Firmware upgrade problem

    The tightening regulations are going to make drone flying an obsolete hobby. If limitations are being imposed by force in the EU, that type of restriction could be applied globally, as a consequence of politics.

    Special Pricing Update ! Mavic 3 Wet Suits an Rescue Jackets

    Very nice looking rain attire for sure., How are they stuck to the chassis? Is there any risk of pieces flying off in the slipstream? Also, how many grams does the raincoat weigh? And how much does the water landing gear weigh?
